What would you want your readers to think about your comic/novel?

[faisalhussein394]

I just want many people to read and understand my comic, including its theme, the world building around it, and most importantly, enjoying it.

[R.n.P]

I can't wait for the next episode

[AmazementComics]

Believe it or not, even though making comics about giant sentient fruit ninjas sounds like a comedy on paper, I want others to have the complete opposite reaction to those stories and characters. While I do understand the thought of fruit ninjas kicking butt in New York to be humorous, I don't and I do want to emphasize DON'T want to shy away from dark/gritty/mature themes like any other action/adventure comic. There are moments within my comics that are "M" rated to say the least. That's exactly what I'm going for. Apart of me wants viewers to think that it's going to be a comedic series, only to find out that it's a comic with an in-depth plot and mature themes and characters.

[DualDragons]

Yeah, that is pretty much it for me as well

[PapaDom]

You hit the nail right on the head with this one.

[HGohwell]

I just want people to connect with the characters and care about what happens to them. And for the upcoming one I'm working on, I'd love to leave people with the same uneasiness in the dark in bed at night that I got while thinking it up.

[domisotto]

The exact thing I want to be running through readers’ minds are the following:

Ah-hah, that’s funny.
Wait! They did what?
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

experiences an irresistible desire to like, comment and share the story with everyone they know

Ah, a girl can dream!

[Prisim]

Even though I write fantasy stories with fantasy characters, my hope is that readers can still relate to them and see how they grow. If I intentionally start a character out as unlikeable with the intention of them being likeable by the end, I hope the readers can see that.

[Hazumirein]

I just want people to love my OCs as much as I do. That's pretty much it Receiving fanart/fanfics is the highest honor to me.

I guess it'd be nice if people liked the plots and worldbuilding too; I love answering questions and reading theories people come up with.

[sxxaint]

i've revised my answer, I just want people to love my OCs too!! Fanart would literally be the coolest thing in the world (especially as I can't draw for shit)

[foxnflames]

I want them to relate to my MC. He's lovable and awkward and curious and I hope that whenever he encounter new situations my readers will anticipate how he'll react. I also want my readers to feel everything he feels. I want them to be sad with him, happy with him, understand his melodramatic episodes and feel like he can be their best friend in their head. I base a lot of his wit on my own so if you like him you'll like me too

[MorganaMevil]

I want people to laugh, and I want people to learn. My MC is a mess and she’s kinda problematic at the start—she doesn’t trust her own judgement and she relies on her best friends to decide how she should act. But her friends are also wrong and have problematic responses to situations. I want readers to learn alongside my MC to trust their own judgments instead of thinking that other people must have it “more figured out”.

[joannekwan]

I'd love it if my readers thought my story was interesting and different from other works in the genre.
I also want them to get a sense of peace, since my story isn't really high-energy or high-stakes, and if they fall in love with the characters, that's a bonus!

[surenlicious]

My novel has a personal theme surrounding generational trauma. The severity of its damage is often forced on the next generation, leaving no one unscatched. If my novel can do one thing, its leaving a reader with the plea to acknowledge eachother's pain and allow the road to recovery to begin.

But if its a reader that experienced the same hell as I did? I want them to see there is hope and that I understand. I am here, and you are not alone.

[Crusoe]

Honestly,I just hope they have as much fun reading as I had writing my story. Most of my story is fluff with some drama sprinkled throughout and I had a lot of fun including some tropes of the main genre. (Being BL.) I hope my readers don't take the story too seriously and just enjoy it for what it is.

[Crusoe]

I can confirm. It works.

[Crusoe]

Same honestly! It's always encouraging to see people interacting with what you've created

[impossiblesoul]

I mostly want to inspire people and to give others who feel crushed by the machine the sense that they're not alone.

I just want people to love my OCs too!! Fanart would literally be the coolest thing in the world

And this times a thousand, too. As a writer, the whole "a picture is worth a thousand words" deal stings since I can't draw. There's only so much I can convey to my reader with words without going overboard and turning an entire chapter into a drag of character description.

[sxxaint]

Mission accomplished!!

Also @impossiblesoul, double agreed - I actually opted to include minimal description of the MC because I just don't have a realistic opportunity to write it as well

[Chita]

For me it's what many people have already said, I just want my readers to enjoy my story as much as I do and get them to follow my characters' journey and relate to them. Not much else
